Tonight, we let everyone know that we are just getting started. The guys tonight, the campaign ends, but tomorrow, the work of governing begins. We have to work to make health care, housing, and groceries more affordable to end this war and stop the pain at the pump to protect Medicaid expansion we work so hard for, to stop corruption and take on special interests that get rich while people struggle to get by, to strengthen our democracy and live up to this nation's highest ideals.
